Nigeria, March 3, 2016 – The management of DStv has announced that the hit drama series Umlilo on Etv’s is returning for a 3rd season. The series will now hit the airwaves Monday, 21 March in a new timeslot, 9:30PM.
Umlilo Season One was a dark brooding, suspenseful drama, that features Dumile struggling to stop Khwezi from infiltrating her family, always finding herself one step behind her nemesis.
“In Season Two we turned up the heat as Khwezi and Welcome put their plan for vengeance into action, and Dumile raced to discover their true identity. At the end, the Simelane family was left in tatters. Cebisile was dead, Andile and Phindi both narrowly escaped death, Mnqobi’s business was ruined, his assets seized and he shot his only remaining wife, Dumile.
Mnqobi tries his best to get his life and business back on track. Thembi, previously known as Khwezi, looks to get out of prison and away from the Simelanes.
Dumile works on getting her life together, all the while looking for answers as she still thinks Thembi is a threat. Spikiri wants answers over the loss of his child and the hurt he caused Dumile. Andile is off to university and looking to start a new chapter in her life away from all the drama. The Minister is also back and looking for revenge, as Mnqobi did him wrong and an interesting plot unfolds between him and Spikiri.
From court cases to marriages of convenience and car bombings, this season of Umlilo will truly bring the fire.
